What to wear and bring to BODYCOMBAT
You do not need any special gear. Les Mills lists no equipment for BODYCOMBAT, so the right clothes and shoes are all it takes.
Updated 15 November 2026
What to wear
- Breathable clothes that let you kick and knee freely. Shorts or leggings both work.
- Supportive training shoes with good grip. There is a lot of stepping, pivoting and jumping.
- A supportive sports top or bra. The class is high impact at times.
- Hair tied back and no loose jewellery.
What to bring
- A water bottle. Celebrity Fitness lists shoes and a bottle under what to bring, and Fitness First lists water, a towel and extra clothes.
- A small towel. Useful for your face and the floor during conditioning.
- Spare clothes. Handy for the drive or train home in Malaysian heat.
- Your club app or membership card, if the club needs a booking or check in.
What to leave at home
- Gloves and wraps. You strike the air, so they are not needed.
- Heavy cotton tops that stay wet and heavy.
